It's been a while since I done a personal 'life lately' type of post.  I always hesitate before sharing these kinds of updates - not because I don't feel comfortable doing them (let's admit it; you can't be a blogger and have a fear of over-sharing), but because I wonder just how interesting my readers could possibly find what I ate for dinner last Tuesday or how many orders I packed yesterday or what I picked up on a recent run to the garden store.  I love posting pictures from my travels and events, but my everyday life definitely leans toward the boring end of the fun spectrum. (Example: I'm typing this from my home office in yoga pants and unmatched socks, debating on whether or not I should take a work break to make a piece of peanut butter toast.  Watch out!)  That said, I admittedly really enjoy when my favorite blogs give the occasional peeks into everyday life, regardless of how exciting the activities may be.  So on occasion, I do the same.  If you're finding yourself dozing off on your keyboard for reading this, I apologize.  If you like these updates, then here you go, and thank you for being awesome.
